Researching the origins of the surnameMon, 08 May 2017 05:46:53 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.19Comment on Announcing the new McFadden Project Message Board by Elizabeth McFaddenhttp://themcfaddenproject.com/announcing-the-new-mcfadden-project-message-board/#comment-22592
Mon, 08 May 2017 05:46:53 +0000http://themcfaddenproject.com/?p=270#comment-22592I have just finished researching my family history back to Donegal, Ireland but cannot find any connections furthermore. My ggggfather John McFadden came to Australia on the Minnerva in 1846 with his wife Mary (nee Gilmore) and daughter Eliza. They were original settlers of the Clarence River district of NSW, Australia. I have tried ‘irish roots’ site with no success. I am going over to Ireland in 3weeks and will be visiting Donegal if anyone may have some suggestions of where to go or whom to see? Thank you

John McFadyen born ca 1810-17, probably Paisley, married Jean Beath/Beaton/etc, ca. 1830s probably Paisley. These names are on their son, William’s marriage Cert. to Primrose Stewart, 1863 in Blantyre, Scotland.
Their child John Blackwood McFadyrn born 1867, married Jeannie Bulloch, 1896 in Motherwell, Scotland.
Would be wonderful to find someone researching my family.
